And Now, a Few Words From Terrell Owens

And Now, a Few Words From Terrell Owens

Turns out ol' #81 couldn't keep his trap shut, although we are surprised he's been quiet this long.

Two days
after saying his feud with Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was a
thing of the past, the Dallas Cowboys receiver took repeated shots on
his weekly radio show at McNabb and his former team.

"It's so evident that ever since I left nothing's been going right
there," said Owens, ignoring the fact Philadelphia won the NFC East
title last season. "I'm not saying I'm the sole reason, but when I was
there we were very successful. Now it seems like everything's
snowballing."

"I think anybody who knows me or who has played with or against me along the road here, knows that I am not that kind of player," Manning said, according to a statement released by the Flyers. "I am not out there intentionally trying to hurt people. I'm a guy who plays the game hard and I take pride in that."

Gretzky didn't mind seeing that fire in McDavid, saying competitiveness is part of what makes the great ones great. And he said the targeting comes with the territory of being a superstar. It was something he and Mario Lemieux dealt with, too.

"And Connor, he's going to get tested every night, but this is not new for him," Gretzky said Friday at the NHL board of governors meetings. "He's been tested since he was a kid and then playing junior hockey and now in the NHL and he's always responded and done his part."
